Quick Transmigration: Knowing I'm a Bad Woman, Yet Still Liking Me?

Before he could figure out how to handle the aftermath, Bai Yuan continued, sobbing, "Your Majesty, there's no need to punish me. From this day forward, Yu Fu Palace will be closed. Your Majesty, just consider me dead."

After saying that, she wiped her eyes with her sleeve, stared at Xiao Chengyu for a moment, and then pouted, "Your Majesty, I no longer like you."

After uttering these harsh words, she turned and left, leaving behind a group of people in the room whose faces were darker than the last.

Only after walking quite a distance did Bai Yuan's lips curl into a slight smile.

After this commotion, those who wanted to harm her will temporarily stop.

Even if you want to make a move later, you should think twice before deciding whether it's a trap.

Actually, her methods this time were very clumsy. As soon as she took out her genuine jade tablet, even a fool would know what was going on.

But who exactly set this trap? Heh, let the people in the harem be suspicious of each other. They certainly won't suspect her, the victim who's not quite right in the head and is spouting nonsense today.

Moreover, she wanted to see what she had accomplished during this time, and whether Xiao Chengyu would soften his heart and let her give birth to the child.

Upon returning to Jade Hibiscus Palace, Bai Yuan immediately ordered the palace gates to be closed and forbade anyone from opening them.

About an hour later, Xiao Qi brought back news of what had happened in the hall after she left.

Enraged, Xiao Chengyu directly transferred Consort Hui's princess to Consort Li, sent her to her death with a white silk ribbon, and gave her younger sister, who had just been named a beauty, a cup of poisoned wine.

The emperor didn't even spare Consort Hui's family, executing them all on the grounds that she had tried to harm the imperial heir in Bai Yuan's womb.

Xiao Chengyu also specifically instructed Consort De that although Yufu Palace was closed, nothing should be missing.

He then dismissed everyone and ordered someone to summon Bai Yaoting and the Prince of Jin to the palace.

Bai Yuan listened as she strolled in the courtyard. She had heard that pregnant women should exercise more, as it would be beneficial for childbirth.

Then she smiled and said, "Oh dear, that bastard Xiao Chengyu, who is one of the few people with a soft heart, still managed to give me some. It seems that my chances of winning have increased now."

Inside the imperial study, Xiao Chengyu looked at Bai Yaoting kneeling on the ground and said without any nonsense, "General Bai, the war in the west is still ongoing. You have rich experience in leading troops, so you and Bai Jin will be stationed in the western border in place of Prince Jin."

Bai Yaoting had been prepared, but he hadn't expected to be going to the western border. "This subordinate obeys the order."

Seeing that he had no objection at all, Xiao Chengyu continued, "The western border is remote, so your family can stay in the capital, so they won't have to suffer with you."

Bai Yaoting sneered inwardly, but showed no intention of resisting. "Yes, Your Majesty, this humble general will follow all your arrangements."

"Alright, then you should go back and prepare."

After Bai Yaoting left, Prince Jin walked out from the side of the bookshelf. "Your Majesty, I am a little worried about the change of generals between the two armies at this time."

Xiao Chengyu looked at the sky outside, which was gradually darkening. "Once the people in the Northern Border find out that Bai Yaoting has gone to the Western Border, they might try to test you again. You must be extremely careful when you go there."

He knew that it was inappropriate to change generals between the two armies at the last minute, but this was the only way to restrain Bai Yaoting at the moment.

Of course, he also had other thoughts. If his younger brother could prove himself and tame the Bai family army, it would be a fatal blow to Bai Yaoting.

Xiao Chengze looked at his elder brother, and after a long while, he nodded and cupped his hands, saying, "Your Majesty, I will certainly not disappoint you."

After everyone left, the wind outside suddenly picked up, and lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky.

Xiao Chengyu left the imperial study and headed towards the inner palace.

Wang Shunan knew that His Majesty was in a bad mood and did not dare to offer much advice. Wei Ci, as always, remained silent and followed behind.

After walking for a long time, Xiao Chengyu finally spoke, "Wei Ci, the Eastern Depot is my eyes and ears, and also has the responsibility of monitoring all officials and eliminating treacherous officials. From today onwards, you will be the Grand Eunuch of the Eastern Depot. I hope you will not disappoint me."

Wei Ci and Wang Shunan exchanged a glance, then slightly raised the corners of their mouths, knelt down and bowed, "Your subject obeys the decree."

The three continued forward, but the wind grew even stronger. Xiao Chengyu stopped, looking at the Jade Hibiscus Palace in the distance.

He knew he couldn't get in now, but he just couldn't resist wanting to come and take a look.

As an emperor, Xiao Chengyu knew that true sincerity was rare, and now, he had personally destroyed the last vestige of honesty in the harem.

Consort Hui deserves to die, her whole family deserves to die, and he will find those who framed Consort Hui and make them all die.

He wanted to salvage the situation, which is why he left Bai Yaoting's family in the capital to keep Bai Yaoting in check. But doing so might only make Bai Yuan angrier.

But if he doesn't do this, how can he feel at ease leaving Bai Yuan's unborn child in her womb?

The raindrops pounded down, their coldness stinging the skin.

"Wang Shunan".

"Your Majesty, this old servant is here." Wang Shunan quickly stepped forward, trying to hand over the umbrella, but the wind made it impossible for him to hold it steady.

"Go tell Shen Meiren to announce that she is pregnant as well."

Wang Shunan was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Yes, Your Majesty, this old servant will take care of it immediately."

Although Xiao Chengyu did not try to persuade them, Wang Shunan and Wei Ci understood his meaning.

When the time comes, let Bai Yuan and Shen Xun'er give birth together. If Bai Yuan gives birth to a princess, then His Majesty will keep the child for her.

But if it was a prince, then the emperor would be given to Shen Xun'er to raise, and it would be a lie that Bai Yuan had given birth to a stillborn child.

It's not too late to return the child to her later, after he has dealt with Bai Yaoting.

After Wang Shunan left, Xiao Chengyu turned around and walked back. "Wei Ci, send more people to protect the Consort. Don't let these people in the harem have a chance to harm her."

"Yes, Your Highness, I will certainly not let anything happen to you." Wei Ci's words came from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Chengyu looked at him and nodded in satisfaction.

As night fell, when Wei Ci sent someone to deliver the news to Yu Fu Palace, Bai Yuan was overjoyed. "See, I made the right bet!"

Not only did they make the right bet, but they also received an unexpected surprise.

Shen Xun'er only had the Fourth Prince before. If Bai Yuan's baby is indeed a prince, then she will have another trump card.

The person who was originally going to attack me is probably more nervous than I am now.

For the past few months, she has been praying every day that nothing bad will happen to her, and that she is definitely carrying a prince.

Wan Yue and Ting Xue were still somewhat worried. "Master, this is the palace after all. We should plan ahead for what His Majesty wants to do."

"Hahaha."

Bai Yuan laughed so hard she almost fell over, gently stroking her lower abdomen. "I'm carrying twins. Does Shen Xun'er dare to claim she's carrying twins too?"

Then it will be their turn to gamble, gambling that the two babies in their bellies won't both be princes.

After a while, she stopped smiling. "We've only gotten past His Majesty's hurdle. When it comes to tactics, the women in the harem are the ones we should be most wary of."

No sooner had she finished speaking than Xiao Chengze braved the heavy rain and climbed into the Jade Hibiscus Palace.

Bai Yuan looked at him with some surprise, "Why has Your Highness come at this time?"

Xiao Chengze threw Jiang Zi on the ground. "His Majesty has ordered me to set off soon. I'm afraid I'll have to leave in the next few days. I wanted to come and see you before I go."

Jiang Zi got up from the ground, and then the people inside the room could see clearly, "Little Doctor Jiang is dressed as a palace maid, and... she looks quite pretty."
